6:17 am

hillary

thanks guys that's done it!!

6:18 am

flosey

gran, what is the count of the word before mo6/24

6:18 am

hillary

mo 6/24 rhymes with american word for wet-weather boots, gal*****

6:18 am

Dianne

gran - past tense of green stuff that gorws on wet rocks.

6:18 am

flosey

ah, good clue hillary

6:19 am

flosey

in wet weather, or snow, you might wear gal*****

6:20 am

Dianne

6:21 am

joshuavorbis

i don't get it - the mo that rhymes with gal***** doesn't work for me

6:21 am

KatieMcG

6:21 am

flosey

mo + galo**** (wear on your feet in cold weather)

6:22 am

joshuavorbis

6:23 am

Dorens

6:23 am

KatieMcG

I have the same problem josh, maybe we are spelling it wrong!

6:23 am

flosey

oh, sorry, I know why, it's the one word Lickety has and is not in the list

6:23 am

Dorens

ahaa!!

6:23 am

6:24 am

joshuavorbis

6:24 am

6:25 am

gran

Well I finished 30 minutes ago and then went hunting for that mo 6/24 which doesn't exist!

6:25 am

joshuavorbis

grunge = nirvana, soundgarden, alice in chains, etc

6:26 am

flosey

ok, lol josh, you are younger than my kids

6:26 am

Dorens

yup, and tried it many times flosey.... but not in enable's dictionary

6:27 am

joshuavorbis

yet i see franz ferdinand in your last.fm recently played list, flosey

6:27 am

Haz1558

That mo4 word from which mo6 on Lickety's list comes is never accepted in Dr God's version of enable. Lickety maybe just hasn't got around to deleting it from his list which uses a more updated version of enable.

6:27 am

Dorens

thanks haz. knew you'd have the definitive explanation!

6:28 am

flosey

now I must try to get some sleep, woke myself up coughing at 2:30 - disgusting hour!!

6:28 am

Haz1558

I don't know if it's definitive, but if you say something with enough conviction, people believe you...

6:28 am

KatieMcG

to be honest josh I recognise more in flosey's play list than yours :-)

Hi all! Just on for a few minutes while I summon up the moral will to take the dog for her run. Was just at the physio, and he did that thing they call massage but which is actually pulping the muscles so that they can regenerate normal.

Aloyisius

nDanLia

you mean "foot" up, right

10:18 am

Aloyisius

10:23 am

nDanLia

v/n were verb/noun, tho the verb does use a 'v'

10:25 am

nDanLia

is one of the ca 6 27s the yellow ride hailed by a child or a short person?

10:27 am

Aloyisius

the two ca6 27's that i have: one is a pl and the other is a diminutive with the same word base

10:28 am

Aloyisius

the word base is ca5.16, high riding car

10:29 am

nDanLia

thats it, but tongue in cheek def is more evocative

10:30 am

Aloyisius

ah so, true !

10:30 am

nDanLia

did you get the foot clue

10:31 am

Aloyisius

nope, but i should be on the list shortly.. 8 more words to meet my goal

I'm just about to sign off - did you enjoy your get-together? peri's sore wrists prevented her from saying too much.

Haz1558

That's good.

10:40 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping to meet up with FMItch and Ata in London later this month. Ata doesn't know yet. Either that or my e-mail has sent her into despair and gloom.

10:41 am

bfsog

i am so guilty of playing babble but not actually looking at the grid or letters, you guys know what i mean? looking but not seeing

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

that's very nice! someday i will make it over the pond...

10:41 am

Haz1558

We'll hold you to that, TO.

10:41 am

Aloyisius

how nice, Haz !

10:42 am

Haz1558

It should be fun. I've spoken to FMitch on the phone but it will be a first to meet up with them.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i can't believe you have never met them?

10:42 am

Haz1558

Maybe we'll have nothing to talk about, though.

10:42 am

Aloyisius

bfsog: sounds like you wr7.44 with your conscience at times..

10:43 am

Haz1558

No - never met them at all, isn't it strange?

10:43 am

bfsog

aloy: i think i concentrate on the grid rather than looking at the letters below it.

10:43 am

Aloyisius

how far do you live from them, Haz?

10:44 am

Haz1558

I'm on the other side of the Irish sea, Aloy, so several hundred miles. That explains a lot!

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, i don't think so. i think you will be the old friends that you are on line.

10:44 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping so, TO. But you know what a shy,retiring creature I am.

10:44 am

Aloyisius

well, so glad you are getting together! how long will you spend in London?

10:44 am

rururocks

rururocks

10:45 am

Haz1558

I'm just going to be in London for a day and a bit. Husband is attending a conference, so we're flying over on the Friday and returning the Saturday evening. He wondered if I could amuse myself..

10:46 am

Aloyisius

oh, lucky you! hope he has as good a time !

10:46 am

nDanLia

see around 10:16 ruru

10:46 am

Haz1558

Anyway, Fmitch knows and is happy, Ata has been told but is out of internet communication at the minute, so we're still waiting to see if it's okay with her.

10:46 am

Haz1558

He'll love it. It'll be about cattle.

10:47 am

FMitch

10:48 am

FMitch

10:48 am

Haz1558

I'm sure babble and babblers won't get mentioned at all. We'll be discussing nuclear physics and world peace.

10:48 am

Aloyisius

i know... but for a good reason.. just got back from a wonderful babysitting trip.. granddaughter is 11 mos old and sooooo cuddly.. sigh

10:49 am

FMitch

Oh good a wrong number

10:49 am

FMitch

Awe I bet you had such fun Aloy

10:49 am

Haz1558

And I bet she smells wonderful as well. Clean, cuddly babies....

10:49 am

Jacula

Nuclear physics and world peace. Yeah right. *grins*

10:49 am

Jacula

Hello everyone.

10:50 am

FMitch

Lsiten Haz, when Ata and I get together there is never enough time to talk, so with 3 of us - yay!

10:50 am

Haz1558

We'll give world peace our best shot, Jac. How are you?

10:50 am

Aloyisius

i did. well, Haz... she is into finger food and loves refried beans.. she had us all laughing.. she painted herself ! Had to have a bath before bed for sure..

10:50 am

Aloyisius

hi, Jacula!

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jacs.

10:50 am

Jacula

I just came in to see if you'd put my shopping away for me Haz.;-)

10:51 am

Jacula

I've done all the ironing.

10:51 am

Haz1558

Well, you know the answer to that one already, don't you, Jac?

10:51 am

Jacula

(Don't faint!)

10:51 am

Haz1558

NO!

10:51 am

Jacula

:(

10:51 am

Jacula

No need to shout.

10:51 am

Haz1558

Good for you (re ironing).

10:51 am

FMitch

Hello Jacs

10:51 am

Aloyisius

ironing? what's that?

10:51 am

Jacula

Hi FM and everyone.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

yes can yo come iron for me now?

10:52 am

Haz1558

As a client once said to me 'I'm not shouting, I talk loud to everyone.'

10:52 am

Jacula

Hydra and I are going to a music festival in Devon together soon.

10:52 am

FMitch

It's one of those wicked rumors Aoly, that and housework!

10:52 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

10:52 am

Jacula

TO - No chance!

10:52 am

Haz1558

Are you going to pretend to be 18 again?

10:53 am

Jacula

We could try, Haz.

10:54 am

Aloyisius

LOL, FM..

10:54 am

Jacula

It's a blues festival but it's in Beer. When Hydra first mentioned it, I thought she was asking me to a beer festival.

10:54 am

Haz1558

No, stick with being older, wiser and with more credit.

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

but dig out those tye dyes and bell bottoms

10:55 am

Jacula

My daughter's in Majorca at the moment. (Hey, that rhymes.)

10:55 am

Jacula

Will do, TO.

10:56 am

Jacula

At least she (my daughter) is seeing some sunshine.

10:56 am

Haz1558

I'd have zero chance of getting into my old bell-bottoms. Those dry cleaners - they do shrink things terribly.

10:56 am

Jacula

Haz - that's what my Mum says. *grins*

10:57 am

FMitch

HAve to reboot :(

10:57 am

Haz1558

Mothers are always right. My daughters are coming round to that way of thinking the older they get.

10:57 am

Jacula

*Imagines FM putting thigh boots on.*

10:57 am

Jacula

True, Haz. I find the same thing myself.

10:58 am

Aloyisius

shiny ones with sparkles on 'em

10:58 am

Haz1558

<-------------- Spangle is ready for her walk, so I'd better get ready. I do wish it would stay bright and sunny for longer than 10 minutes at a time.

10:58 am

Jacula

Since she is rebooting, she must wear different ones at different times of the day.

10:58 am

Haz1558

Oh, fireworks? Congratulations Aloy!

10:59 am

Jacula

Enjoy your walk, Haz.

10:59 am

Aloyisius

lol, talking about FM's boots, Haz!

10:59 am

Jacula

I though Aloy was referring to FM's boots.

10:59 am

Aloyisius

have a great walk, Haz..

10:59 am

Haz1558

I'll try! Bye! (my contribution to the rhyming of the day)

10:59 am

Jacula

I'd better go and put the shopping away. BBL.

11:00 am

Aloyisius

rururocks

11:13 am

nDanLia

glad they-re working on the trees, though; with all the drought the last few years, some are in big need; hate above ground lines [with all the trim & storm overtime, you'd think all new ones would be below; at least the new developments do that]

11:14 am

Aloyisius

i agree, nDan.. and much more pleasing to the eye to have all those poles and wires hidden!

11:14 am

nDanLia

be 5 16 is a curling [sport] necessity, could be a witch's best friend

Aussieme

Hey Rae !

12:51 pm

raelite

the weather is great, me, not so much

12:51 pm

raelite

sorry to read about your cold :(

12:51 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that rae. ((((hugs))))

12:51 pm

raelite

there's a lot of residual energy floating around the office - my boss died last night

12:52 pm

stidmama

oh no rae!

12:52 pm

raelite

he was very ill

12:52 pm

Aussieme

{{{{Rae}}}} I am so sorry to hear that sad news...

12:52 pm

nDanLia

oh, what a fish, not worth that hair loss; at least i didn't ask......done

12:52 pm

raelite

I take comfort in that he is no longer in pain

12:53 pm

nDanLia

so sorry

12:53 pm

stidmama

not in pain is good. but sad anyway

12:53 pm

raelite

his family is really suffering though. there is no one at the office but me today!!

12:53 pm

Aussieme

Well Done nDan !!

12:54 pm

raelite

it's a family business, I'm the only one not a member of the family

12:54 pm

Aussieme

Rae, that is something to take comfort in, that he is no longer in pain.... Prayers to his family, friends and to you too, who is helping his family by carrying on the business for them while they deal with his loss...

12:54 pm

stidmama

wow. so you're doing phone and all the other bits so they can take care of themselves.

12:55 pm

raelite

12:55 pm

raelite

12:55 pm

stidmama

12:55 pm

Aussieme

Babble is your comfort Rae....

12:56 pm

Aussieme

Go MAma !

12:56 pm

raelite

yay babble!!!

12:57 pm

raelite

I love it when words are laid out for me across the grid in such a logical pattern

12:58 pm

stidmama

babble helps me a lot when the grid is big and I have time to kill. Today I am taking it easy because of the cold, so am justifying a few minutes' game time.

12:58 pm

Aussieme

Logic ?? There is logic to this grid ??? well blow me down.... rofl...

1:00 pm

raelite

I really didn't mean that as sarcasm either...the words that describe a sneeze? right in front of my eyes!

1:00 pm

Aussieme

I know, it was one of the first words I found !!

1:01 pm

raelite

loves it!

1:01 pm

stidmama

me too! funny when things like that happen.

1:02 pm

stidmama

how's georgia these days, aussieme?

1:02 pm

Aussieme

She has a snotty cold Mama..... She is off to day care for half a day tomorrow !

1:02 pm

stidmama

so that's where I caught this bug! daycare? is this new?

1:03 pm

stidmama

HALFWAY!!!

1:03 pm

Aussieme

yes, daycare, its like pre-school here....

1:03 pm

Aussieme

OMG GO MAMA !!

1:04 pm

Aussieme

Half a day a week, so Mr Aussie can catch up with things and not have to panic about Georgia being on her own for a lenght of time...

1:04 pm

raelite

aren't colds etc very common in day care?

1:04 pm

stidmama

I hope she enjoys it! caitlyn was saying one of her grandchildren was starting to school (three years old) this week.

1:04 pm

stidmama

good for mr. aussie!

1:04 pm

Aussieme

yeah, colds are normal for daycare....

1:05 pm

stidmama

viruses make the rounds in all settings, rae, more common in younger kids because they haven't been exposed to as many viruses yet -- but even older kids manage to share bugs a couple times a year.

1:05 pm

Aussieme

Mr Aussie is happy too, it means he can do the chores he needs to do, without Georgia either being under his feet, or hanging onto his leg and such !!

1:05 pm

Aussieme

She shared her bugs with me !! I have the snotty cold too.....

1:05 pm

Aussieme

Oh Mama, you want a laugh that is not a laugh ??

1:05 pm

raelite

wishing you piles of soft tissue, aussie!

1:05 pm

Aussieme

well, not such a laugh !

1:06 pm

stidmama

um.... maybe?

1:06 pm

Aussieme

1:06 pm

Aussieme

stidmama

1:08 pm

Aussieme

1:08 pm

stidmama

oh oh -- does she need surgery or should it mend a bit on its own?

1:08 pm

Aussieme

1:08 pm

stidmama

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Completely understand. I have a Dane. They glue themselves to the owner. If I walk into a room, then turn around to go out, I will fall over the dog.

1:26 pm

Aussieme

Tried it on when I went to see my Sis the other day..... It was soooo comfy.... I was impressed !

1:26 pm

stidmama

1:27 pm

stidmama

2:53 pm

riemann

Hiya Stid!

2:53 pm

stidmama

hey riemann, sorry for kicking you off the phone yesterday, I was a bit miffed.

2:54 pm

stidmama

Talked to Tom five minutes before he left the office... and he STILL forgot to pick the kid up on his way home!!!

2:54 pm

stidmama

how are you doing? classes started up again, i suppose?

2:54 pm

jacq

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

2:54 pm

jacq

no wonder you were miffed

2:54 pm

riemann

2:55 pm

jacq

2:55 pm

stidmama

you'll just have to try harder. I don't suppose that you could give them essays? if math scares people like me, perhaps words would scare them!

2:55 pm

stidmama

later pini -- good luck. (((hugs))) see you later

2:56 pm

riemann

No essays. Essays cause reflection pain--I scream.

kje

be + ***etimes you feel like a nut

3:00 pm

riemann

Will all the driving your golf game should improve.

3:00 pm

stidmama

3:00 pm

theycallmeposh

BE 5/16 is the plural form of top or better than all others

3:00 pm

meliae

be+***etimes the words just evade us

3:01 pm

jacq

3:01 pm

stidmama

I know that AUS has been having a drought the last few years...has NZ been affected?

4:10 pm

GroovyKiwi

winter has been very wet and wild we have had more floods than ever before over the country but the rain hasnt been in the right places for the hydro lakes to fill

4:11 pm

GroovyKiwi

so we are struggling with not enough water in the lakes to keep the hydro dams flowing so power crisis after power crisis loomed all winter

4:11 pm

GroovyKiwi

its either been wet and wild or cold and snowy round much of the country

4:12 pm

danf63

yuck...we have been "droughting" for the last several years, with no end in sight. Since San Diego is a desert (though no one remembers) it is causing all kinds of water problems

where is Fairfield Ohio granny? what part of the state?

4:58 pm

grannyg

yw again I think that's the first clue I've ever given that someone actually got the word

4:59 pm

grannyg

We're about 25-30 miles north of Cincinnati. Between Cincinnati and Dayton.

4:59 pm

lil*monkey

well , it was a good clue granny!!!!

5:00 pm

lil*monkey

i have been to Cleveland but haven't been out your way

5:01 pm

grannyg

I was born here so I think it's a great place. I've never been to Cleveland. My daughter went to college in Berea, just south of there. But that's as far as I got.

5:02 pm

lil*monkey

my trip to Cleveland was in the 80s... it was a different city back then, from what i hear. It was so dirty and disgusting

5:02 pm

grannyg

Yes, I hear ot

5:02 pm

BerniceQ

i grew up in cleveland. it's true there has been a huge revitalization in the last 15 or so years

5:03 pm

grannyg

Yes, I hear it's quite different now.

5:03 pm

lil*monkey

i'd love to go back, and visit the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame

5:03 pm

BerniceQ

(not that i'm looking to move back)

5:03 pm

BerniceQ

see the science center too. it's very cool.

5:03 pm

lil*monkey

Bernice, do you know what "city chicken" is?

5:03 pm

BerniceQ

no

5:04 pm

lil*monkey

i used to know a Cleveland girl, she was always raving about it... not sure what it is tho

5:04 pm

grannyg

You mean meat (usually pork) on little skewers? Love it.

5:04 pm

lil*monkey

yes, she said something about it being on a stick

5:04 pm

BerniceQ

is it a restaurant? or food off a cart? i've never heard of it.

5:05 pm

lil*monkey

i think food off a cart

5:05 pm

BerniceQ

we have that in new york too, but no name for it other than kabob

5:05 pm

grannyg

It's cubes of meat (usually 3 or 4 cubes) on a wooden skewer. You bread it and fry it. It's a regional thing, I think.

5:05 pm

lil*monkey

i love kabobs!! I especially love it from a Thai restaurant, called "satay"

5:06 pm

BerniceQ

ah, you bread and fry it. i've never had that

5:07 pm

BerniceQ

i like how cleveland took something that could be somewhat healthy, grilled chicken, and bread and fry it to make it horrible for you

5:07 pm

grannyg

Yes, there aren't any vegetables on the skewer, just the meat.

5:07 pm

lil*monkey

LOL bernice :O

5:07 pm

icepyro

it varies by region too not always breaded, not always fried, always not chicken

BerniceQ

5:11 pm

icepyro

you are right, there is not. Although I do wish there was. ironically despite being from the south I hadnt had the pleasure of the fried twinkies until I moved here

Yeah, not so sure about the logistics. But I saw it on a sign by the deep fried pop tarts.

5:26 pm

icepyro

being from Georgia, I like coke and of course like fried things, but.... will have to see about that

5:26 pm

wickdsmaht

And I quote from some webiste: "Deep-fried Coca-Cola-flavored batter. Drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry."

5:27 pm

That must cause a lot of dental cavities!

5:30 pm

I've had deep-fried pepperoni slices at a tavern - great with honey mustard

5:31 pm

wickdsmaht

That sounds slightly more....reasonable? I might try that. The coke is too weird.

5:32 pm

icepyro

and this is the state that I find fried twinkies....

5:33 pm

wickdsmaht

They fry everything at the state fair.

5:33 pm

wickdsmaht

5:35 pm

icepyro

I still want to try a tijuana danger dog

5:36 pm

chrisk

hi all - at the minnesota state fair you can get most anything fried - but this year we had pig lickers - that's bacon dipped in chocolate

5:36 pm

spanner

Whats that? (pardon my ignorance)

5:36 pm

wickdsmaht

I just recently heard about the bacon/chocolate thing. Seems like you might as well staple-gun it to your arteries.

5:37 pm

icepyro

take a hot dog, wrap it in bacon, then deep fry that.. put on a bun with grilled onions/peppers

5:37 pm

spanner

Actually that sounds preety good

5:38 pm

wickdsmaht

If my stomach could handle that, I'd eat it.

7:32 pm

herinfernallady

Ice I have them all but HnM and Ikea as they are still $30 and i cant justify that when i can get the expansions for $35 (I know one of the staff members of the game store) Go look up Sims2 games

7:34 pm

I dont blame you. I dont have those for the same reasons.

7:34 pm

Yes. I get the stuff packs dirt cheap. I did Ice on my old pc as HnM was marketed like you could mix and match clothes when you can't and i have sites that you can download for free

7:39 pm

a's done

8:10 pm

evanonut

she's not bad because her daughter went out and got preggers...she's bad because she thinks that there is no acceptable situation for an abortion at all, and because she's against gay marriage, and because she wants to open up alaska for drilling

8:10 pm

nDanLia

herin, that is offensive - to blame a parent for a childs actions in that area; i am a liberal, but I know many cons christians who dont believe in abortion but make sure their children are aware of all the facts in order to make true decisions in their life;

8:10 pm

actually dan, i just think its wrong to drag the kids into it is all...but it was wrong of palin to blame the obama campaign when obama publicly announced families to be off limits

It's actually pretty close. A couple weeks ago, there was an NBC pole that asked which they think will win. The results were Obama 47, McCain 43!

My vote was never counted and that rather makes me feel angry, and only because i was Overseas.

8:17 pm

But Palin might change the mind of some of those woman who said they would vote for McCain because Hillary wasn't the candidate

8:17 pm

mccain is insane if he thinks he's going to pick up hillary voters, jade has great views on that in babble-cast

8:18 pm

Palin actually offends me. She is nothing like hillary and I can not see her winning over Hillary supporters.

8:18 pm

lbdawger

that really sucks, red. if they could recount florida, they should have included the overseas count.

8:18 pm

we should ALL be working & talking to avoid the need for abortion; it's not a healthy thing for anyone

8:19 pm

There is a hillary writein campaign, sponsored by PUMA... who knows what will get counted...

Hey REd you will like this one. My friend got diagnosed by a specialist and went to the doctor to hand over the results the doctor told her the condition doesn't exist and that she could fix the problem by lossing 30 kilos (might we add she has had it when she was 50 kilos)

8:19 pm

should all be counted....

8:20 pm

its not a democracy if all the votes aren't counted

there have been movements several times to change the electoral college because of those weirdnesses; it was concieved in the days of horse & buggy; in this electronic age it should be straight popular vote

8:23 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, nDan

8:23 pm

i'm obama supporter, but if hillary had won i would have supported her, it's too important for the democrats to win this time

Romney lost it when he made a joke about Obama being shot

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

Nice of you Pam!

8:26 pm

what's interesting in political history is that some of the now "democrat" agenda were originally "republican" items & not liked by the others; and vice versa

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

I missed that one sukee....

8:27 pm

evanonut

well, obama probably will be shot, or an attempt will be made, red necks you know

8:27 pm

pam

i couldn't vote gop, not while they presume to tell me whom i love is eitehr illegal or immoral.... so, a vote for a republican would be way to self-hating....

8:27 pm

8:28 pm

pam

8-), nut

8:28 pm

well in a way romney was right. Seriously, with all the hate groups around here (USA) do you really think that if OBAMA is elected he gets a chance to get sworn in with out an attempt on his life?

8:28 pm

evanonut

lex, i'm left liberal dem, and i'm all for welfare reform, i'm just not for ditching it

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Lex what about people that those that can't work because of mental illness and what about those returned soldiers that get dumped the moment they get back to America

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

there was already an aborted attempt, praes. disgusts me that some candidates become moving targets... when reagan was shot I was appalled and upset and friends thought i'd be glad. what kind of pacifist wants to see someone shot, i asked...

8:29 pm

herin, the welfare programs do have work programs attached to them. most often the recipients don't want to work.

8:30 pm

how about a few clues...off topic, but I have 108 left and need to go to bed.

8:30 pm

Welfare should just not be a handout - bigger for each child...if you are UNABLE there should be a plan for that.

8:30 pm

sukee

Sorry, that was Mike Huckabee who told that joke...my bad

8:30 pm

JBV

Lex, I agree with herin - i've worked in a program where people were forced to go to school to get welfare and most of them were completely unemployable, no matter how much training you might force them to attend

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

Not ment to jump on anyone but what about people like me that can't work but wont to.

and for the soldiers...there are programs to assist them too, but they are so tight that the assistance is practically non-existent. healthcare and such where facilities are hundreds of miles away.

There are definitely things wrong with BOTH issues and really need to be looked at from the "users" end of the picture rather than from some of those higher up who are not/have not ever been affected...

8:33 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:33 pm

8:34 pm

Praes

why is it always BUSH, the democrats own the house and senate.. the president is becoming more of an English figurehead. Whoe ever owns the house runs the country

8:34 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Minver!!!!

8:34 pm

evanonut

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Lex do you believe in the part of Palins speech about Obama worrying about human rights first?

8:34 pm

evanonut

wrong praes...no one in the house wants to be responsible for anything

8:34 pm

sukee

The democrats have been in control of the House for 1 year...

8:34 pm

lbdawger

nancy pelosi hasn't been the speaker of the house for the last 8 years.

8:34 pm

lexleeanne

Not sure...

8:35 pm

JBV

Pinikula, you said it well - the "higher ups" have no knowledge or experience of what it is like to be in need

8:35 pm

nDanLia

that's why I had them saying "i WILL do this or that"; they can't in our system, they can only try

8:35 pm

evanonut

oklahoma city bombing...by an american citizen...not a muslim...just to be clear

8:35 pm

lexleeanne

It is true that Pres. does not have much power anymore

8:35 pm

sukee

I guess I have to start thinking about our election here...although it'll be over by the end of September

8:36 pm

sukee

our elections run weeks...not months...

8:36 pm

Pinikula

Finally, with all due respect, I would only request that babblers be aware that some babblers here my have family members serving in the military (i.e., my brother); so please be careful how the current conflict is discussed?

8:36 pm

nDanLia

*hate them saying

8:36 pm

lbdawger

you are so fortunate, sukee

8:36 pm

sukee

no one is attacking soldiers...

8:36 pm

evanonut

no its not, the president has more power than ever! have we ever actually declared war? the president can commit troops without approval, then what is congress to do?

8:36 pm

Pinikula

...with that, I bid you adios for a short time...I'll be back in a bit...congrats to all past, current, and future finishers!

8:37 pm

Praes

Congress allowed it by never saying no

8:37 pm

lbdawger

bye pini

8:37 pm

evanonut

ta ta pinik

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

Pini I hope you brother has a safe tour and i for one never ever bag the Military just the govenment

8:37 pm

sukee

why is it seen that if you attack a war you are disrespecting the people who are forced to fight it?

8:37 pm

lexleeanne

We need to finish this war with a WIN.. and get out

8:37 pm

lbdawger

but it

8:37 pm

pam

I fully support the troops while deploring the action, pinik. i hate that they were inadequately armed and supported, and i r6/18 that they were sent in on false premises. as i said earlier, bush and congres have a lot to answer for. bush and cheney have blood on their hands

8:37 pm

Pinikula

Sukee...that's not what I was implying...I'm sorry you mistook it.

8:37 pm

evanonut

praes, congress didn't have the chance till we were tangles, not to mention they were lied to, no...prezzie has the power

8:37 pm

lexleeanne

the guys need all the support we can give them - I have students over there...

8:37 pm

sukee

You have to finish the war in Afghanistan and help out the Canadians who are dying

8:38 pm

evanonut

and i sent my s.i.l. packages and letters constantly thank you very much

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

the will never be Win in any conflict.

8:38 pm

redturtlehead

Lex...I think the time for a "win" is long gone. Having lived in some places that have sufferred the prolonged conflict like in iraq, no one is going to "win" it is not going ot be like that.

8:38 pm

Pinikula

Perhaps it was just me who mistook the converrsation in general...but it sure would be nice to hear more about troop support

8:38 pm

Pinikula

So, I'll be quiet now...

8:38 pm

evanonut

i'd love to keep stirring the hornets nest, but speaking of national security, i should be well rested for work.

8:38 pm

Praes

I am all for the troops

8:38 pm

pam

I send letters all of the time through some programs on line... I think patriotism means i get to question the actions of my government.

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

In fact no one ever Wins in war. Pini i hope that your bro has a safe tour

8:39 pm

redturtlehead

Pini, I think we support th troops, but many of us would like to see them back home safe.

8:39 pm

Madi95

I love it that you all can express views without trying to reach through wires and smack someone...

8:39 pm

Dorens

smacking people rarely helps, madi

8:39 pm

Praes

They are fighting the cause as instructed, and i hope they come home soon. after we have established the iraqis and afghans back in power

8:39 pm

pam

madi, without discussion and dissent, there would be no democracy.

8:39 pm

nDanLia

big problem is congress no longer does their homework; I don't believe any of them actually took time to understand "patriot" act, one of the foulest & anti-american fundamental freedom pieces of legislation ever

8:39 pm

lbdawger

definitely support our troops. I'm a vet and so is my hubby. I teach vets, my neighbors are vets. we Infact, we represent WWII, VietNam, gulf, and Iraq on our street.

8:39 pm

lexleeanne

I hope we can all be friends when it is over - but that is what this country is about - agreeing to disagree

8:39 pm

evanonut
